To the Democrats hopefully!

American liberals are much too fractured for anything to be "obvious" to all of us, unfortunately.

I think Obama would blow up in the Dem's faces. Biden's advantage right now is that he's a white man and thus the mid-conservative is more willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on certain disagreements. A huge part of the reason Trump beat Clinton, IMO, is because all but the staunchest of Party-line Dems (and, for reasons I can't fully grasp, a lot of Black Americans) hated her. So you had relatively "normal" conservatives like my parents vote Trump because they still couldn't believe that he'd actually be, well, himself once elected.

Those people know better now, but they also dislike the Obamas almost as strongly as the Clintons. Maybe more, in some geographic pockets.

Anywho. That became a bit of a ramble.

No, it's interesting.

Particularly the above, why the dislike for the Obamas?

To say that they saw/see the Obamas as corrosively condescending would be understating it a little.

He sounds better than Biden in a 'not being a bumbling old fool' style, but the actual words that come out of his mouth are bonkers and more than a little scarey.

Joe Biden has appeared to confuse Emmanuel Macron with former French president Francois Mitterrand in his latest gaffe.

The US president made the blunder while speaking to hospitality workers in Las Vegas while recounting a story about a G7 summit in 2021.

The 81-year-old said he told the meeting, which took place in Cornwall, that “America is back”, with “Mitterrand from Germany” responding.

He then corrected himself to “Mitterrand from France” - despite the fact that Francois Mitterrand died in 1996.

He said: “Mitterrand from Germany — I mean, from France — looked at me and said, ’You know, what ... why … how long you back for?”

I think it's incredible that he's still allowed to be in office tbh. Even on a good day he looks like a tired, bumbling old man
